    Ohhh, I like the color and the flow. I find the bright white to the lower right just a little too bright. It does an effective job leading me across the image as I slide along the cascading yellows and blues but when I get to the bright side it feels a little blown out.
    I wrote the above after initially viewing the image. Now as I go back to it repeatedly the brightness doesn't bother me.
    Note, I'm viewing this on a crap uncalibrated monitor at work.

    Tremendous Karen. I really like that. Only thought is that the highlight lower right is a tad bright but that is very nice.

    Sharon, I want to find your enchanted world. Some people take pictures, you make them happen. I like your choice of square format as well.

    Apologies Sharon. It was the gremlins.

    Apparently you are still held captive by the light(er) side, good to know.
    I really like the vibrant colors, but almost autumnal in appearance, which could suggest a return to the dark side.
    I don't know that it speaks to me as a cool glade, but I do hear it whispering which, in the end is all that's required of art.

    It was very much a working title Jack.

    Talking of which...I have wriggled an ankle free and am working on my wrist chains...I should be free by the time the water and bread are gone.

    I love the colours, Sharon, the yellow particularly resonates with me at this time of year (autumn).

    The crescent moon seems a little bright, and it makes me wonder if you hadn't initially intended the rest of the image to be a bit darker?
